Back and forth between F250/Ram 2500
I don't want this to turn into a brand war, but I know it will.
I was set on the Cummins. After driving one it felt a little "dull" to me. Interior and options are fantastic as is the dependable drivetrain and 100K warranty.
Coming from a gasser currently, the F250 drove like one. The diesel was quieter than my 5.7 Tundra. The engine was responsive and peppy and the truck was pretty nimble.
Interior was on the Ford was pretty dated compared to the Ram with less cab storage.
I also like the larger factory tank on the Ram over the Ford as well. I think the Ford looks better than the Ram (subjective). Ford made in US, Dodge made in Mexico. If buying an American truck I'd like to see it at least assembled in America.
For those of you that chose one over the other, how did you come to your conclusion? Just wondering if there is something I may be missing to help make a better determination. The salesman don't really seem to know much about the trucks and when I ask how their truck beats their competitors they don't really have an answer. They both seem to be pretty split on their offerings. Where one excels, the other falls short and vice versa.
One concern about the F250 is that next year is a brand new model which may hurt resale if I get a 16.
